Happy Pets: The highlights from this year's Smiliest Pet of the Year awards

Harvey the dog has been crowned Britain's smiliest pet. The happy Staffordshire bull terrier beat off competition from more than 200 other animals to be crowned Britain's Smiliest Pet. Harvey, a ten-year-old black and white family pooch, was crowned the happiest pet in the country after judges poured over hundreds of photographs of entrants, including dogs, cats, parrots...even a sheep. Proud owner, April Gargiulo, of Horley, Surrey, was thrilled to hear her best friend had been voted the winner by a judging panel. She said: 'We're so excited that Harvey has won this prize and is getting some recognition for how amazing and happy he is.' Here are some of the other contestants...Picture: SWNS
